WHY CONSTEEL™ EAF TECH MATTERS

Consteel™ EAF technology is among the most energy-efficient and lowest carbon-emitting method of steelmaking, resulting in a significantly lower total carbon footprint. JSW Steel USA is already above the bar for the global steel industry objectives for the 2050 Paris Agreement.

HOW WE MAKE GREEN STEEL

Steel is a uniquely sustainable material because once it is made, it can be infinitely recycled, making it a product that is used and not consumed. The investment in making steel is never wasted and can be capitalized on by future generations. Scrap is sent to our Ohio location, it is melted and reused to create safe, sustainable steel.
